沪语全景图: A Long Scroll Through Shanghainese
An elaborate Shanghainese learning and preservation project organized as five escalating layers, from phonetics and tone sandhi to idioms, performance, and mastery.
Field notes
The curriculum is arranged as a progression from computable sound rules to culturally situated speech. Its stated mechanics include arbitrary-word tone-sandhi calculation, drag-and-drop sentence assembly, searchable materials for more than 60 particles, and exercises comparing literary and colloquial readings. The project also claims to combine male and female human recordings with synthetic audio fallback, while marking the overall work as a draft.
